Free Roast Beef Sandwich from Arby's
As a kid, summertime was synonymous with Arby's. For each book I read that was more than 100 pages, my parents would reward me with trips to the neon cowboy hat. So I would go to the library to find 100-pagers with the largest print possible, blaze through them, and then load up on roast beef, curly fries and cherry turnovers. Since I was raised on bean sprouts and tofu, Arby's was like crack cocaine: After my first hit, I spent all my summers chasing that first high. 
I still remember that day. It was a Tuesday, partly cloudy, high of 92. Facing the sandwich the size of my head, I wondered where the bean sprouts were. The Arby's sauce that soon drenched my lips was so good, I licked up as much as I could. As I ate my first curly fry with warm cheese sauce, I thought, "Why are these plastic cups of cheese so small?!" And after having the flaky cherry turnover, I didn't crave Mom's sweetened tofu dessert quite as much as I used to.
